can you please explain the roadmap you followed for django and the projects.

[@niklasburghardt4292]

I just want to say thank you. I'm currently building out a own project, that requires a heavy backend framework and this really gave me a comprehensive understanding of the topic (not only drf but APIs and Backends in general). It's amazing that this stuff is on the internet for free. Keep up the brilliant work.

Thank you so much for this course. Just found a job while transitioning from flask to django. You deserve all the best!!!

[@jcoder8965]

Thanks very much for creating this course! I'm around 30 minutes in and loving it so far. I'm actually a .NET REST API Developer at a large tech firm and I'm really enjoying learning more about Python and the Django REST Framework. This is a great course to shore up my fundamentals and strengthen my ability as an API Dev.

[@r125l6]

Dear Justin, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing tutorial series you've created on Django Rest Framework. Your efforts and clear explanations have made the learning process incredibly smooth for me. Not only have you taught Django Framework effectively, but your insights into Django Rest Framework have been invaluable. Your dedication to teaching shines through, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into creating such high-quality content. As someone eager to delve into professional Django development, I'm convinced of the importance of solid guidance for production-level work. Hence, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and best wishes to you. Your tutorials have laid a strong foundation for many of us, and I'm sure I speak for many when I say that your expertise is highly valued. If it's not too much to ask, could you perhaps consider creating a guide or series focused on best practices for Django Rest Framework in a professional setting? Topics such as Django user authentication, deployment and other industry best practices would be immensely helpful. Once again, thank you for your outstanding work, and I eagerly await any further insights you may share. Best regards, Rasel Rana Bangladesh

[@CodingEntrepreneurs]

Thank you for this! You made my day. Who else wants to see authentication with DRF?

[@r125l6]

You're welcome, Justin! Your tutorials have truly made a difference for many of us. Keep up the amazing work!@@CodingEntrepreneurs

[@SophiaRatri]

​@@CodingEntrepreneursThank you for your dedication to teaching Python and Django, Sir. Your consideration for addressing production challenges, particularly in authentication with Django Rest Framework, is highly appreciated. I earnestly urge you to create a tutorial focusing on production-ready DRF authentication, including custom user implementation and other crucial aspects. Your guidance in this area would be invaluable, and I'm certain many of us would benefit greatly from following your recommended path while implementing these solutions.

[@JustinaNockreck]

​@@CodingEntrepreneursAbsolutely, Justin! Count me in for a deep dive into DRF authentication-it's exactly what I've been eager to learn. Thanks for your outstanding tutorials ❤

[@Oliviya__007]

​@@CodingEntrepreneursCertainly, Justin! I'm eagerly awaiting your tutorial on DRF authentication-it's a topic I'm highly interested in.

[@AnjaliSharma-lq8ut]

Watching your video was the best decision I've made after suffering from not getting a low level perspective of how APIs work

[@CodingEntrepreneurs]

You made my day. Thank you

[@tsyf1]

As I get more experienced as a developer, it gets harder to find content beyond the simplest of CRUDs for some technologies and a lot of tImes I end up just reading the documentation. I really like your approach here. It seems like you're trying to show as many DRF's features as possible while making them useful so that we can remember them and use them as needed, while trying to keep the quality one would expect on a production environment, and it works. Your video helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@sunnyhaider4508]

I've been searching for a month for another good tutorial like this on KZbin for DRF, but I couldn't find it, to be very honest. This man is amazing!!!!

[@felipemediavillalevinson7337]

I was really feeling overwhelmed trying to learn Django for an idea of a app startup I had. Went through the official Django docs and some half finished udemy courses, but didn't really grasp the concepts. I was about to give up, until I saw this tutorial and Dennis Ivy's "DRF Oversimplified". Now I understand how things work BIG THANK YOU

[@CodingEntrepreneurs]

Way to stick with it!

[@frederickah88]

I'm new to Django Can I just learn DRF without learning Django? Or should i need to learn Django first and comeback to this video?

[@mmcuser]

@@frederickah88 I would learn some django before. Is what Is did. I was not an expert but I could run a simple app. its easier this way, as this tutorial is really dense and fast (which I like)

[@sheikhtahamaroof8484]

Thank you so much, Justin, for making this video. I really liked your teaching style - covering multiple coding strategies, and the in-depth explanation is just phenomenal. The course structure was very mature, and I never felt like I was wasting my time watching this video, unlike most of the coding tutorials. The main problem with most of the videos is that they generally target beginners with minimal and starter coding practices, but this video was seriously different. Now, if anybody asks me for Django, Python, or API resources, I am simply recommending this channel. Also, one thing that I missed was the testing part. Can you please add a module for testing the back-end? I learnt DRF for building back-end for my multi-modal AI app which consists of computer vision and RAG. I will share the github link as well as the working app's link ASAP. Also, I was inspired by Delphic - A package for building end-to-end RAG apps. Delphic is discontinued right now and I am looking forward to create my own package for the task.
